Virga(Protagonist and Hero)

 

For my hero's color scheme I wanted to go with analogous bright colors(but different hue's) to match the villains colors, so it would be hard to separate them. The motivation for this would be playing with the triangle of knowledge by having the viewer know who's good, but the people in the world not knowing who's good. The color is also motivated by his powers. Virga(the name of my hero) literally means "A mass of streaks of rain appearing to hang under a cloud. The colors are based off of rain and storm clouds of lighting. His powers are the ability to fly, live and breathe off of water, and make torrential floods pour from the sky. These colors compliment his powers, and make clear for the viewer that this is a hero who likes and knows water. 

 For lighting I want to use hard lighting on my character. This creates heavy shadows and puts emphasis on certain parts of him. I would put the lighting in such a way that casts his face, and his arms, in the spotlight. Giving him the power in the picture, and showing the viewer this is a strong character who is greatly confident in his abilities. I would also use great value in the background to accentuate his features. The lighting scheme would be meant to make sure that the viewer is only paying attention to him. 

For his shape, the motivation is once again his super powers and his environment. If he can manipulate rain, and use this medium to his advantage, it would serve a metaphorical purpose to shape my character in the form of a raindrop. I also envision this shape being able to shift so he can take on various forms in and out of water. The shape is symbolic of his nature, and symbolic of who the character is, and what he represents.
